Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ludgershall. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
FAQs for Ludgershall
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Ludgershall?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ludgershall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?
The entire UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
